Special Thanks to:

The Producer for everything he has done over the years. I couldnt have done it without him.
Elvis Hitler for coming out of retirement with me this fall to record 3 great shows together.
GenesisOH for doing double duty of audio and video recording.
JCN for his great smuggling job to get that big lens/camera in the arena and getting some great photos.
EThiessen1 for excellent cover artwork.
Hakimike for hospitality.
Markbot for the HD versions of the Roger interviews with Fallon/Obrien.
Donkyflip & Percy the Ratcatcher for their work with us on our original claim to fame 'The Farmer In Ohio'
Video from the 1999 In The Flesh Tour. Wish they could have been able to be with us for this show.

My how times have changed from that 99 tour show. The Schottenstein Center was only about 3/4 full for that show and any glowing light would have tipped off security to your location. We were shooting on Hi8, 8mm and I think even VHS-C. The original Farmer In Ohio project was mixed on an analog AV mixer two sets of 2 camera mixes were made on S-VHS and then those two SVHS tapes were edited together, all on the fly. A number of years later I remastered that show on the computer and made it into DVD.
Fast forward eleven years from The Farmer In Ohio and now the Schottenstein Center was sold out to capacity, the arena was a sea of glowing lights from cellphone cams to micro recording devices we were all shooting in High Definition and we are delivering DVD5, DVD9 and Bluray via bit torrent directly to the fans, able to bypass the scumbag video dealers. The VHS version of Farmer in Ohio was sold by some guy in NJ for over two uninterrupted years on ebay. That guy must have made a small fortune off that video when its intent was for free trade only!


Inspired by HannahH. - great music will survive by exposing our children to the classic rocks. The pop bullshit has a very short shelf life but classic rock will live forever. Lets hope each young adult can find their inner Dave Kilminster, or even Lemmy Kilminster for that matter.

Dedicated to John Lee - In the fall of 1982 in Elmira, New York I was 16 years old and my neighbor comes over and says 'hey, do you want to go see a movie?' what I asked, 'Pink Floyd The Wall' he said.
Well, I really dont like that Brick in the Wall song I replied. He said havent you ever heard the whole album?, it tells a story about a burned out rockstar. No, I said. Then come on, you gotta see and hear this.
Ok, why not I said. Well, do you know where we can get some weed he asked. I knew a kid in my Social Studies class who was in to all that so I said sure and took him over to his house and I got high for the first time and then went to see The Wall. Needless to say my life changed course that day and here I am thirty years later, still a diehard Pink Floyd/Roger Waters fan. Thanks Leedo!

Recording Notes - the Sony TG1 was still a new camera for us at the time of the recording and some of the settings didnt work for the recording, resulting in a less than expected picture. When the lights are on its a darn nice picture but when it got dark the image quality took a serious hit. I had a 2x converter on my HC1 in the rear but it was very difficult to find and keep focus with it on so a few song into the show I removed the lens and shot with the standard lens. GenesisOH was able to get some great shots early on in the show but after awhile the venue security was making people put down their cameras if held up for any extended time so his shot is incomplete but very close. The audio is a mix of GenesisOH Zoom H3 recording mixed with the TG1 audio, some fan interruptions are heard in the audio. My audio from the HC1 was not used at all because I had a talker next to me.

There are the normal obstructions at the rear of the Schott Center, my view was partially obstructed by the rear quadraphonic speakers and the cable bundles.

This certainly is not the best video of the tour, we all had our share of difficulty and we were shooting from a distance but overall I think it turned out nicely.
